Most of us when going abroad don't use to make an insurance. We often keep money for drinking another cocktail on the beach. But in my opinion, insurance is important both - when travelling and at home. Just imagine something happens to you - like injure your arm etc. it will cost a lot to treat it. But, if you have a medical insurance you will not have to spend time and money when travelling if you have problems with your health

People simply think optimistic "ah, nothing will happen". They try to be careful and one of the reason they think it won't happen is because it's hardly possible, and if the money for insurance is spent in vain one time, the second time the insurance will not be bought, that's for sure

"I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex."

once when I was in Greece I went to take a swim into the sea. Everything was great until I stepped a crab. It bit me really hard and my leg was bleeding. I had no bandage to tie so I went to the hospital. I paid 60 euros, only for making a check and bandage my leg. So insurance is important, believe me!

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

travel insurance is ten times more important than simple inland medical insurance. When you are home, in your country you can be supported by your relatives and friends in case something happens, but, being abroad nobody can help you but the insurance!

insurance is a risk. It's stupid, but sometimes people say "Ahh, why did I bought the insurance? I didn't use it anyway". But they should be happy about the fact they didn't use it. It's their health, that's why it's called "insurance"

yes, I know that feeling. It's a feeling of spending money in vain. You see, the point is that we want to feel a concrete effect from each invested money, and if we don't, we begin to complain about that.

Travel insurance is becoming a more and more important part of the traveling. It must include a lot of aspects, not only health. People who go to areas where war or conflicts are possible must get insured over this.

Indeed it would be good for people to make these insurance but as we know nobody goes to travel and something bad to happening with them. Probably is something like superstitions, you prepare for something bad and happens.

I don't think there is anything like superstition while traveling. And going for Travel insurance there is nothing wrong. Everyone should take care of their belongings and should be always prepared for the worst.

When you are on a trip that too to other country you need some sort of security and that can be only provided by Travel insurance. Atleast it will give you a piece of mind which is very important when you are traveling with your family and friends.

Insurance is really important as many people think that if they have taken medical insurance then there is no use of going for Backpacker Insurance as there health is covered. But only covering health is not everything what if your flight gets delay or canceled.
Its better to go for travel insurance as it would cover you for health too.
Why to spend more when you can get more in less..... ;-)

Thank you for sharing.Insurance is all about risk. The greater the risk of an illness, accident, loss or another event occurring, the higher the premium you will be expected to pay for cover. If the Insurance Company decides that the chances of an incident occurring are extremely high, it is not obliged to insure you.

Traveling would be quite boring if there is no adventure attached to it. So, its always nice to get yourself insured so that you can enjoy your traveling to fullest and with all adventure.
And yes, if insurance company is taking care of your life and health then it would definitely cost little high. :ange
